I am monitoring a device using SNMP v2 polling of specific OIDs. In this scenario, we want to monitor for an "error flag" (one OID that's in one item) and then provide the "error message" (a different OID that's monitored via a second item).
I'm trying to figure out how to write a trigger that will fire when the error flag OID is true and include the ITEM.VALUE from the error message OID.
Can this be done with Zabbix 3.0? I've been unable to find any documentation or forum posts that cover such a scenario. So far, I've not been able to get the monitored device into that scenario (flag is true and message has a value) to see if my test trigger would actually work.
I can imagine another way to accomplish this using trigger dependencies, but it would require that we write the error flag trigger backward. That way, the error message trigger will go to PROBLEM if the error flag trigger is OK. Haven't tried this, but it would seem possible at least.
Thanks.
